What To Expect
Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)
Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) Located within the grounds of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist temple. It houses the highly revered Emerald Buddha, a small but significant statue carved from a single piece of jade. Built in 1782, when Bangkok became the capital, the temple features intricate architecture, colorful murals, and ornate details that reflect the finest craftsmanship of the Rattanakosin era. As a spiritual and cultural landmark, it is a must-visit site for visitors seeking to experience the heart of Thai heritage and devotion.
The Grand Palace
The Grand Palace is the most iconic landmark in Bangkok and a symbol of Thailand’s rich history and culture. Built in 1782, it served as the royal residence of the Kings of Siam for over 150 years. Within its walls are impressive halls, pavilions, and courtyards, blending traditional Thai architecture with Western influences. The complex also houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. Today, while no longer the royal residence, the Grand Palace remains a spiritual and ceremonial center, attracting millions of visitors from around the world.

5.00Angie was very friendly, knowledgeable and very interesting. She has excellent English and was really good at explaining everything. She not only told us about the temples and palace, she taught us about Thai culture and answered all our questions. And she took some amazing photos for us! Our best experience in Bangkok. If only we could take her with us to Chiang Mai!

5.00We had the pleasure of having Poppy as a guide. She picked us up from our hotel in the morning in a nice air condition vehicle and took us around the city, showing us the beautiful temples, palaces and highlights of the Bangkok. Later in the evening Poppy picked us up again and we had a wonderful time riding a tuk tuk around the city. We stopped and had the most delicious Thai food at several of the local Thailand restaurants. Poppy did a wonderful job, was super friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her.
Far exceeded our expectations.

5.00James wasn‘t just a guide; he was a brilliant storyteller who connected all the historical dots for us. The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is even more massive and impressive in person. The private tour format allowed us to ask a million questions and go at our own pace. Worth every penny.
Perfect for first-time visitors.

5.00The temples were beautiful different styles, different moods, all impressive in their own way. Loved the riverside one especially. Da made the experience even better. She explained things clearly, kept the pace easy, and was just genuinely kind. A simple, smooth, and very enjoyable tour.

5.00I didn’t expect to enjoy the temples this much, but Tina made everything feel so easy. She handled all the tickets and walked us through the Grand Palace with this warm, calm energy. At Wat Pho, she pointed out little details I would've never noticed on my own. By the time we reached Wat Arun, the river breeze plus her stories made the whole morning feel peaceful. Simple, smooth, and honestly very memorable.
Highly Recommend This Tour
